As Simon's pointed out, there's an RFC for this already.
It's actually not that tough to do now with eval, with two problems:
*) Eval won't extend scope, so each statement you execute stands alone. (So
lexicals go missing immediately)
*) Figuring out where a statement ends is a pain--you'd want to read to the
end of a block for example before executing it.
I'd personally like to provide a scopeless string eval, and the second
issue's a SMOP. (Though involving the parser on the fly would make it easier)
